audition training

The main purpose of the training is to provide the opportunity to experience first
hand an audition situation, and all that that entails, the sense of competition, the
possibility of stage fright, and the level of concentration needed. These specific
issues and others will be approached directly, enabling the participants to master
their skills in preparation for an audition.
The work will be done on an individual and a group basis.
